God Bless Google

Nearly everyday of my life, I recite this little sentiment: "God bless Google". Not only is it one of those nouns that has become a verb ("hey, why don't we Google it?"). But it has also solved arguments in our household, started debates, and provided a ridiculous amount of solutions for most of our odd situations we find ourselves in (think 'replacing interior door'). Without Google, I'm pretty sure my hubby and I would be resourceless idiots. Really, what did people do before this thing? Go to the library? Read an entire book? Talk to people? I dunno. It baffles me, really.

Well, today google taught me how to get the 2nd player option to work on our Wii LEGO Indiana Jones game. We've been plagued with failing miserably at adding the 2nd player on that game for a whopping 8 months. We have let things go for longer than that without resolution, but for some reason, today brought this issue front and center. It was my hill to die on and numero uno on my priority list. Perhaps it had something to do with the "mommy, is it my turn yet??? Andrew isn't letting me plaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy" (paced at 32 second intervals and a nasally whine). After three Google searches, I finally had my answer to the 'trick'. We now have two happy kids who coincidentally think mommy is the bees knees.

But I still won't look up medical symptoms in it. The common cold symptoms can turn up anything from sinus infection, to H1N1, to MRSA, or even M.S.
